def myFunction(self):
self.newWindow = design_3.Ui_MainWindow()
self.newWindow.setupUi(self);
self.newWindow.campusNameLabel.setStyleSheet("QLab el { color : white; }");
self.newWindow.campusNameLabel.setText("Label 1")


gridLayout = QtGui.QGridLayout()
gridLayout.setSpacing(5)
gridLayout.setRowStretch(1,1)
gridLayout.setVerticalSpacing(20)


alertBtn = QtGui.QPushButton("myBtn",self)
alertBtn.setAutoFillBackground(True)
alertBtn.setFlat(True)
alertBtn.setSizePolicy(QtGui.QSizePolicy.Preferred , QtGui.QSizePolicy.Preferred)
alertBtn.setMaximumWidth(150)
alertBtn.setMaximumHeight(150)
alertBtn.setMinimumWidth(150)
alertBtn.setMinimumHeight(150)


alertBtn.setStyleSheet("border-image: url(rsz_imagetest.png);background-color:black;")
gridLayout.addWidget(alertBtn,0,0)
self.newWindow.verticalLayout_2.addLayout(gridLayo ut)

The colour comes from your image. If you want to change the colour you will need to change the image.

Another approach would be to subclass QPushbutton and provide it a paint() function that draws the button with QPainter (using a member variable to hold the desired button colour).

how can i make the corners of this hexagon rounded ?
